Has any of you watched the anime Dr Stone?

'Cause I fell inlove with Senku there! Now that I talk about it, he looks like Yashiro's long lost smart twin😂

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Hello! I'm the other half of the seventh of the Seven Mysteries, Hatsume-san of the Toilet!

It's usually Nene-chan who does the introduction, But she's currently occupied right now.

Before, Nene-chan and I were grabbed by mysterious hands and dragged into the boundary belonging to No. 3 of the seventh mystery- The Hell Mirrors.

And now...'

Hatsume could only stare in worry as Yashiro Nene's fears were brought to life by the mirrors. Mitsuba on the other hand wasn't even trying to help and was only laughing at the daikon legged girl's pain.

'Nene-chan is being bullied!'

"Isn't this the most wonderful mirror?" The mirror version of Yashiro's bestfriend asked, cheerfully. "It can see everything your afraid of!"

"That's not fair, only attacking me..." Yashiro sobbed. She then pushed Mitsuba infront of the mirror. "You should get a radish attack too! Mitsuba-kun!"

Mitsuba and the mirror 'Aoi' stared at each other in complete silence, soon the girl in the mirror disappeared.

"Huh? It's not reflecting anything...?" Yashiro muttered.

"Mitsuba-kun... A-are you immune to t-the mirror?" Hatsume asked. But the pink haired boy remained silent.

"I wonder what happened..." Yashiro muttered.

"It's always been like that ever since I came here... It won't reflect anything for me. Is it because I'm a ghost?" Mitsuba look at his feet, upset. "Or.... Maybe  it's because I don't have any memories."

"No.. Memories?" Yashiro asked, looking confused.

"I don't remember about when I was alive or how I died." Mitsuba said. "Well, not like that stuff matters, since I'm dead."

"Mitsuba-kun..." Hatsume looked at him worried. The pink haired boy decided to changed the subject by asking Yashiro.

"So, how are we suppost to get out of this hell of Daikon?"

"I-it's th-the h-hell mirrors!" Yashiro stuttered out, feeling a bit offended of the sudden nickname. "And w-we just need to destroy the yorishiro!"

Since the white haired girl was now standing again infront of the mirror, The mirror version of Aoi appeared again making Yashiro panicked. "Ack! She's back!"

"Oh ugly daikon-chan. You wanna go all the way up there?" 'Aoi' asked.

"Up there?"

"Right up there!" The three then all look up to the ceiling where the mirror Aoi was pointing. Hatsume gasped as she saw the sight of the black seal.

"That's it!" She pointed.

"I-It can't be?! That's your yorishiro?!" Yashiro exclaimed.

"If you wanna get to the top level and reach the yorishiro, you have to go through this mirror." 'Aoi' said. "But the mirror is only for pretty people. I feel bad, but, I can't let an ugly daikon like you through here."

Yashiro started crying again. "Stop it! Aoi would never talk like that!" She then look towards to the female seventh mystery who was standing awkwardly in the distance, with her ruby teary eyes. "Save me, Hatsume-chan!"

Hatsume began floating towards her until the entire boundary was engulped with darkness.

"Wh-what? The lights went out..." Hatsume muttered alarmed as she quickly went towards Yashiro, going on a protective stance. "No. 3 is finally going to show himself."

"Tee hee..." 'Aoi' laughed. "Ugly daikon-chan! Surely you figured it out by now?! This world is better off without people who has fat ankles!"

Hatsume noticed that Yashiro clung on her arm with fear, Mitsuba was next to her feeling scared too.

She sweated a bit, she never fought with a mystery before. Hanako was usually the one who solves the problem of the other school mysteries.

She wasn't meant to fight in the first place, she was suppose to be the one who defend while her other half attack.

But Hanako wasn't with her on this one, so she has to find a way to protect Yashiro on her own.

'I promise to protect, Nene-chan with my life.' Hatsume thought. 'She's my friend, I won't let anything happens to her!'

"You don't deserve to live, and so..." The three watched as 'Aoi' transformed into a black smoke like creature. "..I will humbly do a favor of replacing you."

Mitsuba and Yashiro screamed as theu both then clinged on Hatsume as their life depends on her.

"The girl turned into a freak!"

"Here, help yourself! Fresh daikon legs! If you're looking for a meal, she's your girl!" Mitsuba said, pushing Yashiro forward towards the creature.

"Mitsuba-kun?!"

The shadow like creature seems to have notice Hatsume who only gave the creature a menacing glare. "No. 3, stop this nonsense, now."

"Ah, Honorable lady no. 7, what a pleasant suprise." School Mystery No. 3 greeted. "If I have known that you'll be here, I would have made tea and some pastries for us. I would love to talk to you about random things."

Hatsume's glare became even more menacing than possible. "Cut the crap, No. 3, You know what I'm talking about."

"I see. I was just getting bored." The creature said, as he began to think. "Our desire is to trade places with the living." He then glance at Mitsuba. "That boy is merely a spirit with a little power to speak of. He's hardly worth of replacing, a defect so to speak."

Mitsuba seems really crushed as the word 'Defect' hit him hard. "What?! You... You'd call adorable me a defect?! You got some nerve! Where are your eye balls, you freaky mirror-"

"Perhaps... You haven't yet realized the truth.." No.3 scoffed. "In standard scoring, your face just barely makes it to the bottom..."

And with that comment, leave Mitsuba in the state of shock as he fell on the floor, frozen. Yashiro ran towards him. "H-hang in there, Mitsuba-kun! And how cute did you think you were?!"

"Incidentally, the daikon there is in the bottom of the middle."

And again, with that comment, leaves Yashiro in the state of shock making Hatsume sweatdropped.

"You guys! Now isn't the time, You're both cute, okay?!"

"Are you sastisfied? Honorable Lady no. 7, you don't need to feed them with lies..." No. 3 said as he then snaps his fingers. "Here I come..."

"My servants..." faceless mannequin like creatures emerge from the mirrors. Making the two cling back to the annoyed, Hatsume. "Whoever steals the daikon girl's soul will be granted the right to take her place.

And now... Time for the daikon hunt!"

"NOOO! THEY'RE HUNTING ME!" Yashiro screamed.

Hatsume quickly took her wrist and Mitsuba's sweater sleeves and made a run for it. Kicking the faceless creatures away from the from the three of them.

But all of sudden, a giant hand appeared and grabbed the daikon legged girl from the ghost girl's grip. Yashiro screamed.

"D-Daikon-senpai!" Mitsuba shouted. Hatsume gritted her teeth in frustration.

"W-w-wait! Only hot guys are allowed to forceful with me!" Yashiro screamed, struggling from the hand's grip as she then closed her eyes in fear. " Lemme go!"

'I have no choice but to fight back.' Hatsume thought, looking at the (f/c) wisp floating next to her. Just then her eyes widened as she saw a faceless creature appeared behind Yashiro ready to devour her with it's sharp teeth.

"HARU-JOUDAI!" Ignoring the fact that she doesn't have No.3's permission, the (f/c) wisp floated around her, making Mitsuba gawked in amazement. Next thing he knew she was already off and cut through the hand in an amazingly fast speed.

Yashiro was still screaming, next thing she knows, someone was carrying her bridal style. Opening her eyes, she saw a familiar hat that a certain mystery always wore. "H-Hanako-kun?"

"Not quite, Nene-chan..." Yashiro's eyes widened in shock as her ruby red eyes met with Hatsume's (e/c) ones.

"H-Hatsume-chan?"

The female seventh mystery only gave her a small smile, but she seems a little different from before.

Hatsume was now wearing a black military uniform, with a red skirt. On her head was a hat similar to what Hanako usually wore, Yashiro could have sworn she saw her flower hair clip underneat the hat.

'Hatsume-chan....She transformed...' Yashiro thought staring at her in amazement.

'I always knew that Hatsume-chan would protect me whenever Hanako-kun can't. Back in the misaki stairs and now... Maybe...She is my prince charming...'

Yashiro was cut off from her thoughts when both her and Hatsume heard Mitsuba screamed.

The two girls turn around to see Mitsuba on the ground with some of the faceless manniquin.

"S-stop! You're hurting him!" Yashiro screamed.

"All of this screaming annoys me." No. 3 said as he then summoned two more giant hands. "Honorable Lady No. 7, you shouldn't have never interfere in the first place."

"Well you shouldn't have attacked us first, then!" Hatsume shouted, creating a (f/c) barrier dome between her and Yashiro as the giant hands began to attack.

Mitsuba watched in the distance as the giant hands and the faceless mannequins began attacking the forcefield shield, to try and break it. He could see how much the (h/c) haired supernatural was struggling to keep the shield up from all of the attacks.

"H-he-help m-..." Tears began pooling on the pink haired boy's visible eye. "WAAAAHHH! HELP ME!!"

"......You are so hopeless..."

The creatures on top of Mitsuba was thrown off of him, breaking to pieces.

Hatsume's eyes widened in shock along with Yashiro as the giant hands and the creatures all began to dissolved as a sudden force strike through them.

"H-hanako-kun?" Yashiro whispered as Hatsume removed the barrier, and placed Yashiro back on her feet for she was still carrying her bridal style. The girls stared as a boy appeared infront of the mirror and breaking it as he struck his hand inside the glass.

'No it's not...' Yashiro's eyes widened. 'That's not Hanako-kun!'

"T-tsukasa..." Hatsume trembled in fear as she detransformed back.

"Hrgh...Arg...Just a-...Stop!" No. 3 exclaimed in pain. Tsukasa remained emotionless as he pulled No 3 out of the mirror.

"Hey, Whatcha doing?" Tsukasa asked. "Picking on things weaker than you?"

"I would ask you, 'Whatcha doing??'!! Who are you? How dare you come into my boundary and disrescard my rules!!" The bird like supernatural demanded.

Tsukasa stared at him for a brief moment, before bashing his head on the ground repeatedly.

The three stared at him in absolute horror as he kills the third school mystery. Hatsume covered her eyes and trembled in fear as she recalled the day, Tsukasa killed her.

"T-Tsukasa-kun, Wh-where are you ta-taking me?" (Y/n) asked a bit frightened as the boy dragged her to a secluded place. "Amane might be looking for me, just tell me what you need to say."

The boy remained unresponsive. She wasn't that close with her bestfriend's younger twin brother, infact she was a little afraid of him. He tend to be abusive and manipulating that made her fear him. He was the exact opposite of his older twin brother.

Most of the students already left. (Y/n) was waiting for Amane since he got detention. Being the sweet girl she was, decided to wait for her bestfriend, even if means going back to the orphanage late.

But then, Tsukasa appeared and grabbed her by her wrist, dragging her to who knows where.

The said boy, then stop walking as they both were finally infront of the girl's bathroom. He forcefully shove her inside the room and locked the door.

"Th-this is the g-girl's ba-bathroom, Tsukasa-kun. Y-you aren't s-suppose to be here."  The poor trembling girl stuttered. She didn't like the menacing aura that the boy rediated around him. It scares her completely. "W-we might get in trouble."

(Y/n) respected Tsukasa. But clearly the boy doesn't when it comes to her. Surely he can be nice to her when he wanted, but that's only occationally whenever he needs something from her or if his older brother is nearby.

"You know, I always hated you, (N/n)-chan~" Tsukasa said, walking closer. "Amane always has his attention on you, He barely talk to me anymore. And I hate it."

The (h/c) haired girl shook has Tsukasa was now a foot away from her.

All of sudden, Tsukasa grabbed her by her throat and squeezed her tightly.

"S-stop!" (Y/n) begged as she struggled breathing, she grabbed the younger twin's hand that was choking her and tried to push him away.

But his grip became stronger.

"Before, Amane and I were like two peas in a pod. Ever since he's been going he met you, he's been sneaking out every night just to see you under that stupid tree. I get to feel our mother's wraith all because of you!" Tsukasa said, darkly. "He used to protect me from her, but he's out all the time with you, so I'm the one who became her punching bag! Do you even know how much it hurts?!"

Black spots began to cover (Y/n)'s vision. She could already feel herself loosing air.

Tsukasa finally let go of her as she then fell on the floor coughing for air. (Y/n) look up towards the boy and her eyes widened.

Tsukasa gave her an innocent yet murderous smile. On his hand was a knife, the metal glistened underneat the lightbulb above them.

"Killing you will turn everything back to normal right?" Tsukasa said, with a psychotic smile. "I always wonder what the insides of a girl look like. I'm very curious, are you curious? I hope you don't mind being my test subject."

Everything became really fast, the knife stabbed her on her stomach before she could even scream.

Then another.

Another.

Another.

Tsukasa's childish laughter echoed around the room. (Y/n) could taste the metalic liquid that quickly came out of her mouth.

Tears falling rapidly from her eyes as her visions slowly becomes blurry. The pain from each stabbed she got from the younger twin becomes faint as her body slowly became numb.

Before she could lose her conciousness, one person was all she could think about. With her last breath, she manage to say his name.

"Amane...."

"Awww... I broke the mirror." Tsukasa whine, making Hatsume snap back from her little flashback. Her eyes widened in shock as he saw the bloody and dead, third school mystery.

Tsukasa turn towards the three, this simple gesture made Yashiro gulped and Hatsume close to tears. The younger twin toddle towards them.

He then knelt towards the two girls making them flinched.

"Are you alive?" Tsukasa questioned Yashiro.

"Huh?....yes..." The white haired female answered with hesitation. Tsukasa grinned, showing off his little fangs.

"Oh! That's good!" He then turn towards Hatsume, smiling. "Ah! (N/n)-chan! It's been a while! Good to see you!"

Not wanting to anger him, she replied with a short. "Likewise." Making his smile wider.

"Anyways...Mitsuba..." Tsukasa stood up and approached the said pink haired boy a bit farther than the girls. Mitsuba stared at him with teary eyes as he caressed his cheek with his bloodied hand. "You're such a bad boy. You can't just do anything by yourself can't you?"

Tsukasa then began conforting the now crying boy. "There there..."

'W-why is h-he he-here?!'  Hatsume thought as she shook, Yashiro look at her worriedly as the female seventh mystery stared at her other half's younger brother, who was busy comforting Mitsuba. 'I r-really ap-appreciate h-him saving us but...

I f-felt like we're m-might be in worst tr-trouble than before!'

Hiya! Mana here with another chapter for y'all Hanako lovers out there!

You guys must be wondering what's with Tsukasa in the flashback right? That's why I'm here to explain it to you!

Basically I decided to go with a Theory that caught my eye on Instagram along with a short fan made comic I saw about the Yugi Twins.

Basically since Amane had been hanging around with you a lot, and Tsukasa had been experiencing the abuse that Amane always recieved from their mother. This is the reason why he began having a strong dislike towards you, since Amane used to take all the abuse for him before he had met you.

But now, Amane wasn't there to protect him which causes him to feel the pain his older brother always felt and he didn't like at all. So he became a bit violent, that he became a carbon copy of their mother. He began to hurt Amane for allowing him to feel their mother's wraith.

And this is the start of why Amane always have bruises whenever he hangs out with you.

Tsukasa still loves him as his older brother but he didn't like the fact that Amane is always with you. So he decided to kill you, in hope that everything would be back to the way it was before his brother met you.

That backfire though, Amane finally snapped which leads him to accidentally killing Tsukasa.

Well that's my theory. The theory I found is that Amane protects Tsukasa from their abusive mother which leads to him having cuts and bruises.

Also, here's what Hatsume's transformation outfit looks like:

Anyways, I hope you all like this chapter! And the glimpse of Hatsume/Your past.

See ya in the next chapter!
